| I've done the cleaning--at least as good as it will likely get. As for the routing of the belts I really can't tell and I'm a bit stumped as to how to get the counter belt on. I have an exploded view of the transport mechanism but it really doesn't tell me much. |

Scrape away the majority of "goo" with a small pocket screwdriver. A Q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol will remove remainder (allow to evaporate - don't allow on good belts).
Once you've completed that, you should have a fairly good idea of how the belts were routed, and probably, what must be disassembled to allow replacement. |

Definitely a belt issue as they had all deteriorated into so much goo--nearly impossible to remove. Bought the service manual and it tells me everything but how to replace the belts!  |

| Found a service manual to order--give that a try. |

| Finally got around to this. No belts that I can see but they must be there. This machine will run for a bit and then shut off regardless of whether there is a tape inserted or not. Need a service manual I think but no luck there. |

| Ok I'll get it out and open it up tomorrow and do just that. I'll post with an update later. |

Take a marker and put a dot or line on any guide, pulley, flywheel, idler, etc. that the belt rides on. Then try a mode.
The motor should have a pulley which turns a belt which then moves and turns the next thing in its "path," etc.
For example, if a unit has a motor, a belt and a flywheel ... if the motor pulley spins, but the flywheel does not, either the belt is bad or the flywheel is frozen and can't turn. |

| Sorry jts1957 but that is my response above. I thought the forum had looged me in when I posted. |
